CAIR targets Rep. Peter King!

Visit our News page March 16, 2011 Early Bird Registration! 2011 NATIONAL CONFERENCE & LEGISLATIVE BRIEFING OMNI SHOREHAM HOTEL WASHINGTON, DC June 22 – 24, 2011 REP. ALLEN WEST WILL BE KEYNOTE SPEAKER AT THE CONFERENCE GALA BANQUET! CAIR targets Rep. Peter King ACTION ALERT—Let’s stop CAIR in its tracks! During the House Homeland Security Committee hearing on Muslim radicalization last Thursday, Rep. King and other members of the committee exposed CAIR (the Council on American-Islamic Relations) in front of a national audience. Now CAIR is striking back. Yesterday CAIR National had the following message posted on its Facebook page: “We're starting a coordinated ad campaign. No money required- just 5 minutes of your time. Only people passionate about cleaning out our government, please. If you have a large facebook or twitter following, or know someone who does, please reply asap. Email peterkingmustbestopped@gmail.com. Pass the message on, please keep sharing people.” A supporter of ours responded by sending an email to the address listed. Below you will find the response that was received. Thank you Chris! We're coordinating an ad campaign that will basically flood FB and Twitter with calls for Peter King to resign. Sounds like fun, right? :) On Monday, 3/21, at 10am, you and our other volunteers will release a list of FB and Twitter updates that will make us the trending topic (hopefully). I'm collecting volunteer emails and will be sending out the finalized version of statuses to be updated on Friday. You will have to update your FB and Twitter status every 20 minutes. Please let me know if I can confirm you. Also, please pass along more names and email addresses of people willing to volunteer! Thank you for your time and efforts! Shazia Ali Chief Peterkingresign Strategist Clearly CAIR is hoping to create a social media bandwagon effect, such as a “trending topic” on Twitter. While we have no concern that Rep. King will back down in the face of CAIR, we don’t want to let CAIR succeed in creating social media momentum against Rep. King because of the impact this could have on other Members of Congress.
